Amendment and the effects disclosed.
Alternative A, the No Action
Alternative, reflects existing Resource
Management Plan direction. Alternative
B is the proponent’s Proposed Action as
submitted in their right-of-way
application. Alternative C, is a
modification of the Proposed Action
which includes fewer but larger output
wind turbines, alternative access,
alternative transmission line locations,
and alternative turbine types.
Alternative D is a modified version of
Alternative C with a reduced number of
wind turbines.
Alternatives B, C, and D are not
consistent with the Cassia RMP, which
does not allow for the granting of rightsof-way in the proposed project area. The
Proposed Plan Amendment would allow
the decision maker to grant a right-ofway should that person decide to do so.
The proposed decision is to amend the
Cassia RMP by implementing
Alternative C. Protests must address the
proposed decision to amend the Cassia
RMP.
Protests regarding proposed decisions
affecting BLM administered lands must
be in writing and filed with the BLM
Director. Protests may raise only those
issues that were submitted for the
record during the planning process.
Email and faxed protests will not be
accepted as valid protests unless the
protesting party also provides the
original letter by either regular or
overnight mail postmarked by the close
of the protest period. Under these
conditions, the BLM will consider the
email or faxed protest as an advance
copy, and it will receive full
consideration. If you wish to provide
the BLM with such advance
notification, please direct faxed protests
to the attention of the BLM Protest
Coordinator at (202) 452–5112 and emails to Brenda_HudgensWilliams@blm.gov. Please direct the
follow up letters to the appropriate
address provided below. To be
considered complete, your protest must
contain at minimum, the following

address, telephone number, and interest
of the person filing the protest; (2) a
statement of the issue or issues being
protested; (3) a statement of the part or
parts of the Proposed Plan Amendment
being protested; (4) a copy of all
documents addressing the issue or
issues that were submitted during the
planning process by the protesting party
or an indication of the date the issue or
issues were discussed for the record;
and (5) a concise statement explaining
why the Director’s proposed decision is
believed to be wrong. A protest merely
expressing disagreement with the
